How did you feel when you first got this job?
When I got the call from my agent that I was going to play Aladdin on Broadway I was over the moon, and I didn’t even have a magic carpet yet!

How do you feel now that you’re leaving?
It’s definitely bittersweet. Aladdin has been a huge part of my life (seven years!), and I’m so grateful to have done it and also sad to see it go.

What are three words you would use to describe your experience?
Magical. Dream-like. Epic.

What was the easiest thing about this job?
Wearing a costume that felt like pajamas on stage.

What was the hardest thing?
Running around like a chicken with your head cut off and then stopping to sing a ballad.

What was the highlight of your time at this job?
Performing at the Tony Awards was absolutely incredible, but in hindsight just the whole experience feels like a huge accomplishment.

What skills do you think are required for future job applicants?
Aladdin requires a good sense of humor first and foremost, lungs of steel, and hair because you don’t get a wig.

What advice would you give to future employees in your job position?
It’s all about balance. Not just on the buildings. In life too. So bend your knees.

How do you think you’ve grown?
I stopped growing after about 16, but Aladdin has humbled me and also given me confidence with comedy as an actor. When you do a role for a long time, life happens along the way. Having twin boys has really changed my perspective on everything.

Why are you leaving?
It’s just time, you know? My journey from readings to out-of-towns to Broadway to tour is absolutely epic. I feel like I’ve reached the finished line on the Tour de France.

What will you miss the most?
I’ll miss having so much color and vibrancy in my life every night, between the costumes, sets and music. That’s a void that will be hard to fill with whatever my next show is. I’ll miss those stage door moments with fans, but mostly I’ll miss my castmates. To everyone who I’ve had the privilege of playing with onstage and off at Aladdin I say, "I love you, Salaam, and thank you!"
